School Mental Health Challenge
Many schools lack the resources, knowledge, and systems to address student mental health effectively. In Uganda, 1 in 4 young people experience mental health challenges, but schools often have no structured programs to support them. Without early interventions, students face increased risk of anxiety, depression, and poor academic outcomes.
​
We are collaborating with schools to create resilient, mentally healthy learning environments tailored to their students’ needs.
